The Offspring Focusing on Singles vs Albums

We’ve been working on a couple of singles, we’re not sure what we’re going to do with them yet, if we’re going to put them on the internet and send them to radio or whatever. As far as a full scale album there’s nothing in the works, if we do something it wouldn’t be until at least next year, but we’re still moving forward and still going to keep trying to put out new stuff.

I can agree with this. I enjoy the band, but the last 3 albums imo have been filled with 3 or 4 gems and a bunch of mediocrity. Rise And Fall is my favorite of their recent releases, but nothing can touch Smash, Ignition, Ixnay, or Americana. Those were great albums all the way through.

Pleased to see some love for Days Go By. Slim Pickens is probably one of their best songs ever.

Not really sure how I feel about this though... the singles are generally the weakest parts of their albums, but there are some genuine gems (You're Gonna Go Far Kid) as well. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I remember years back, Noodles commented the band would do ten albums and be done. It was likely a joke at the time, but I could see that being realistic now. They've already got nine under their belt and are approaching their fifties.
